What the heck is it?Natural Balance Foods are "a little young British company dedicated to promoting health, humour and helpfulness. This means we make really delicious, natural nibbles that taste good and do good." This prize contains 20 of their finest treats:

Why do you dig it?I was looking for a UK alternative to Lara Bars and had even tried making my own by blasting dates and cashews in the food processor. All I got was sludge and a smoking applicance. Then I found Nakd bars in a health food shop. They are ace for a 3pm snack or a great energy boost on a long walk. My absolute favourite is the Nakd Nudies in Cocoa Orange – it tastes like a squishy Terry's Chocolate Orange but it's just dates, cashews, raisins and cocoa and a hint of natural flavour. And only 130 calories, bonus.

I’ve looked all over the UK for Larabars after reading about them on so many US blogs and only once managed to find them on an online shop that since stopped stocking them. So Nakd bars and Trek bars are the closest I seem to get too! The flavours in this giveaway look very interesting and I’ve never tried the Nibbles, Raisins or Nudies!

I too found them when hunting for Larabar alternatives (you can, btw, find Larabars at places like Planet Organic, but they are hella-expensive). I like the original berry ones — and I am flapjack crazy (something about the texture) so will have to go and try those…
